FunSongs Education, shortlisted for a British Council award for excellence and innovation, presents its first iPad app.
"It is a super app - I showed it and some other educational apps to some teacher friends and they rated FunSongs as best by far!" (Sarah M. Howell, author Treetops Primary Course, OUP)
The FunSongs app is both for kids learning English as a second language and for young native speakers of English starting to read and write.
You get:
• FunSongs beautifully animated and interactive action song “Time to Play.”
• Two educational and engaging learning games based on the action song
• A creative and sophisticated painting and artwork feature that serves as a reward for playing the games
The FunSongs app is a highly original learning and gaming experience designed to motivate your child to be creative and expressive - linguistically, musically and artistically.
Learning the song
Children are free to interact with “Time to Play” in several ways. They can sing along with Katie or simply follow the words and sing over the music.
Symbol Game
An effective way of helping learners coordinate sound, touch and language recognition. Based on the words and language chunks of “Time to Play”, players win stars and prizes by matching the sounds with the right pictures.
Spelling Game
A captivating and pedagogically valid learning game for children beginning to learn to read and spell English. Listen to Katie and fill the boxes with the letters she says.
Painting and Artwork - the reward
Children use their fingers to express themselves artistically on the iPad. Its wealth of features, full color palette, unique drawing tools and the many beautifully designed graphic prizes to be won for successfully completing the language games allow young learners and artists to express themselves artistically through colorful pictures that can easily be saved and printed out.
